   Came here on a Saturday and we were glad we booked a table in advance. It was very busy and bustling. The food was absolutely delicious. A personal favourite of mine is their Beef Ho Fun - tender beef with wide rice noodles stir fried together. I've had it twice here and they are consistently very tasty. If you want generous portions and consistently high quality food (especially their seafood) then it's worth a visit.

   I found this restaurant in Edinburgh by chance, due the bad wheater when looking for choices to eat nearby. For us it was a pleasant surprise. Clean establishment being open for more than a decade. Prices are as everywhere in Edinburgh, very ''spicy" but average per total. We ended paying £100 for a dinner for 3, including 3 beers a juice, a coffee and a pot of jasmine Chinese Tea. The guality of food it is at the very high end. The only downside it is that there it is a hidden fee when you'll found on the bill. If you are not look will end to pay 10% more that you ordered. Personaly I did intended to let a generous tip without to look at the total but then I observed the small letter at the end of the bill. I personally believe that this practice to charge 10% of the order, should be advert at the top of their menu, including on their website, make you aware before you choose to visit or not. For only that I gave them 4 stars for services. I would highly recommend the shredded beef with Shenzhen sauce and noodles. The way how is cooked it's heavenly. I will definitely go again.

   Ordered 3 roast with soup noodles and other dim sum dishes. The roast duck was so blend looks under cooked and not crispy on the skin, the roast pork were mainly fat and skin hardly any meat. Asked the waiter if they could do something, came back 5 minutes with the dish and said the kitchen chef have use a fire torch on the roast duck skin there’s nothing else they can do. When I’ve pointed out the table next to us got the same roasts but their looks butter quality the explanations I got was they got dark soya sauce on it. Using lies to cover their poor quality control on food, I could have buy a frozen duck and pop it in a the air fryer at home it would be better than this nonsense that cost £19. Only by passing to go back to Glasgow, so don’t think the owner cares about losing customer or not. I won’t recommend this place as I’ve only just had morning tea in Glasgow loon Fung couple of days ago. Their owner trying to make a compensation after found out I’m from he’s hometown but we already full at that point. Didn’t finish the roasts as the quality just not up to average standard, please don’t tell people this is Cantonese roasts because it isn’t. The photos are after the duck got fire torched, so it was more pale looking then.

   First time here and to be honest the best Asian food I tested so far. The staff is very gentle, they are customer oriented people and really care about their customers. The staff was really helpful with my order, giving recommendations and suggesting to try another dishes. The food was over my expectations, everything was absolutely delicious. Very good quality-price .

   Definitely a very welcoming and authentic place. You walk in and feel like you’re in the dining room of a wedding. To start, the waiter (can’t remember his name but he was Malaysian) had a great personality and was very friendly, as were the other waiters. To start, I tried the shrimp dim sum which was the first time I try dim sum, and they were perfect. Paired with their secret chili sauce (which they wouldn’t sell me), it was a magnificent combination. For the main course, I had the duck and pancakes. Now let me tell you, this is not the portion of half a duck you would get elsewhere, this is a portion which will definitely fill you up, filled with every piece of the duck including delicious crispy skin. So far I couldn’t find any fault. The only fault was, that I don’t go there everyday. Overall I would definitely recommend everyone to try this place for authentic Chinese food.

   Have to say, some of the most delicious Dim Sum that I’ve eaten, & I’ve lived in London for 20+yr. restaurant is not full of frills and fancy but the food an ambiance are what I’m there for. Highly recommended.

   Authentic Cantonese / Hong Kong style cuisine and dim sum that are not easily found elsewhere in Edinburgh. My favourites are the stir-fried ho fun dishes - beef ho fun & roasted pork belly with ho fun were both great, and I like the texture of ho fun in the UK, more chewy and thicker than that I used to have in Hong Kong. There is a range of quality dim sum available as well. We particularly love the egg tart (airy crunchy puff pastry and smooth egg custard) and stir fry turnip cake (complimented by slightly chilly XO sauce). An excellent place to enjoy comfort food.

   One of the best chinese restaurants in Edinburgh. I recommend trying out their Dim Sum starters, they are amazing. Main portions are quite generous, but keep in mind that sides (rice) are ordered extra. For drinks you can choose from a wine list (mostly french wines), bottled beer or a few standard soft drinks.
